There are definitely things I like and don't like about the dating scene here - as you can probably imagine.
I'm just going to say that the dating apps are a forgone conclusion when it comes to gay/bi expats... especially when there are language barriers. Merits of the dating apps aside for a moment, they do provide a snapshot of the available market and give a sense of what the people physically look like and what they're looking for from someone else.
In Prague... The gay guys are pretty and standards are high.
(Actual photo of a Czech guy that I met for a drink, pretty representative of a lot of guys here.)
Luckily, I look decent enough to get dates - but that's not the concern. The issue is the culture those standards can sometimes foster. Sometimes - often times, I find myself hating elitist types.
The other challenge when talking to guys on dating apps in Prague is that this might be the first picture you receive...
(Actual photo I received... No "hello"... in fact, no words!)
It's a seriously fetish culture here. I'm not going to get into my boudoir habits, but I'm pretty vanilla compared to most people here.
For those of you that don't know much about Prague and the sexual culture here, Prague is hands down the capital of porn in Europe. Maybe other things, too. I've met lots of models and actors at the bars now. Reminds me a bit of being back in LA.
Anyway, I'm not sure where this was going other than the uncertainty of not really being hungry for what Prague is serving when it comes to elitists and fetishists. I've made some friends here (that are good looking!) that have told me stories about getting quick rejections because they don't have a six pack. Yeah...
All that said, a classic 'dinner and a movie' date would be amazing.
